We transfer the theory of slack operators and sums-of-squares-criteria for lifts from convex cones to operator systems. These allow to study the following question, among others: Given an abstract operator system, is its enveloping…
We use Ellis' lemma to give a simple proof of the existence of the injective envelope of an operator space first shown by work of Hamana and Ruan.
We construct positive-genus analogues of Welschinger's invariants for many real symplectic manifolds, including the odd-dimensional projective spaces and the renowned quintic threefold. In some cases, our invariants provide lower bounds for…
With Charles Read we have introduced and studied a new notion of (real) positivity in operator algebras, with an eye to extending certain C*-algebraic results and theories to more general algebras. As motivation note that the `completely'…
The study of operator algebras on Hilbert spaces, and C*-algebras in particular, is one of the most active areas within Functional Analysis. A natural generalization of these is to replace Hilbert spaces (which are $L^2$-spaces) with…
We study operator algebras associated to integral domains. In particular, with respect to a set of natural identities we look at the possible nonselfadjoint operator algebras which encode the ring structure of an integral domain. We show…
Every bounded linear operator on a Hilbert space which is invertible modulo compact operators has a closed range and is, thus, generalized invertible. We consider the analogue question in general $C^*$-algebras and describe the closed…
We initiate an investigation into how much the existing theory of (nonselfadjoint) operator algebras on a Hilbert space generalizes to algebras acting on L^p spaces. In particular we investigate the applicability of the theory of real…
A triangular limit algebra A is isometrically isomorphic to the tensor algebra of a C*-correspondence if and only if its fundamental relation R(A) is a tree admitting a $Z^+_0$-valued continuous and coherent cocycle. For triangular limit…
We design a quasi-interpolation operator from the Sobolev space $H^1_0(\Omega)$ to its finite-dimensional finite element subspace formed by piecewise polynomials on a simplicial mesh with a computable approximation constant. The operator 1)…
In this paper the authors seek to trace in an accessible fashion the rapid recent development of the theory of the matrix geometric mean in the cone of positive definite matrices up through the closely related operator geometric mean in the…
Real linear operators emerge in a range of mathematical physics applications. In this paper spectral questions of compact real linear operators are addressed. A Lomonosov-type invariant subspace theorem for antilinear compact operators is…
We prove a factorization of completely bounded maps from a $C^*$-algebra $A$ (or an exact operator space $E\subset A$) to $\ell_2$ equipped with the operator space structure of $(C,R)_\theta$ ($0<\theta<1$) obtained by complex interpolation…
We study residually finite-dimensional (or RFD) operator algebras which may not be self-adjoint. An operator algebra may be RFD while simultaneously possessing completely isometric representations whose generating C*-algebra is not RFD.…
In this paper we suggest an approach for constructing an L1-type space for a positive selfadjoint operator affiliated with von Neumann algebra. For such operator we intro- duce a seminorm, and prove that it is a norm if and only if the…
We study non-selfadjoint operator algebras that can be entirely understood via their finite-dimensional representations. In contrast with the elementary matricial description of finite-dimensional $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebras, in the…
The induction and reduction precesses of an O*-vector space $\M$ obtained by means of a projection taken, respectively, in $\M$ itself or in its weak bounded commutant $\M'_\w$ are studied. In the case where $\M$ is a partial GW*-algebra,…
We introduce $n$-orthogonality (and completely orthogonality) preserving operators between C$^*$-algebras. Our main theorem states that every completely orthogonality preserving bounded linear mapping between C$^*$-algebras is a weighted…
We establish the dual equivalence of the category of (potentially nonunital) operator systems and the category of pointed compact nc (noncommutative) convex sets, extending a result of Davidson and the first author. We then apply this dual…
Given any $1 < q \le 2$, we use new free probability techniques to construct a completely isomorphic embedding of $\ell_q$ (equipped with its natural operator space structure) into the predual of a sufficiently large QWEP von Neumann…
